6 outfits to wear with Birkenstock sandals to make the most of the easy, comfy shoes this summer

Cosmopolitan2 days ago
When it comes to an all-around shoe companion, we're undoubtedly reaching for a Birkenstock. What can we say? Whether it's the arch support calling your name or their lazy-girl approved slip-on silhouette, we are keeping our Birks in every form on rotation all year long.
But, if you're looking to show off that summer pedi this szn – before we head into our Boston era for autumn – you can't go wrong by embracing the classic Arizona style or the multi-strap Florida design. Both get our stamp of approval.
Need some ideas on how to style your Birkenstock sandals? Look no further...
We are jort advocates for good reason – they go with everything and add that 'I didn't even have to try' quality to a look. For those slightly nippier days, pair yours with a light jacket and sandals with ease.
Going on a last-minute getaway? A neutral summer dress and strappy Florida's make for the perfect packing companion. Walking tour, heading to the beach, a post-dinner stroll – all occasions are sorted with these babies. (You're welcome!).
Behold! The 'fit formula for when our bandwidth is super low: a linen co-ord. Mix and match two sets for endless pairings, or keep it minimalist and tonal. Easy. The best part? You can take this look into next season and switch out sandals for your beloved Boston Birks.
Obvs Gigi Hadid nails the 'off-duty model' look. Copy her low-key NY style by pairing your Birkenstocks with a crop top and turn-up jeans.
This romantic Cecilie Bahnsen dress lives in our mind rent-free. Make the drama more 'everyday' by swapping Mary-Janes for Arizonas. Add some fun texture through a summer classic, the raffia bag, and you're good to go.
Tracee Ellis Ross always gets it right – this colourful Prada tank and jean look is no exception. We're big fans! Pay homage by pairing your baggy jeans with a fitted striped vest and matching a mini crossbody with your favourite Birks.

The Fall 2025 Handbag Trends to Know Now—Suede, Top Handles, and Early-Aughts Revivals

When we look at the handbags presented in the fall 2025 collections, a sense of stylish practicality runs throughout. Mostly all of the shapes are roomy enough for everyday wear, (so long micro bags!), and there was a lot of modern references to classic silhouettes. Perhaps it was the personality-infused styling, or the bounty of textural elements in the clothing, which led to uncomplicated and sensible handbags as companions. Feminine top-handle styles from the '50s and '60s get the Muiccia treatment at Miu Miu for a modern spin, while a blast past from the past—Chloé's early 2000s Paddington—returns, fresher and more relevant than ever. Even the classic smooth leather crossbody got a chance to be considered 'on trend,' courtesy of the new Calvin Klein Collection. (Time to break out those old Céline box bags!) Additionally, we saw a handful of shapes carry over from last year, including suede and doctor bag styles, proving out the longevity of the investment. Those looking for more novelty to tote around this fall might enjoy the vanity cases and tidy little boxes from Hermès and Victoria Beckham. They certainly piqued our interest as an elegant new shape, whether you wear it for evening or display it atop your dresser. From Prada's effortlessly cool and already worn-in suede styles to Khaite's uptown-meets-downtown top handles and the return of Chloé's Paddington revival, your guide to fall 2025's most notable and wearable handbag trends, can be found below. The Top Fall/Winter 2025 Handbag Trends Photos: Courtesy of Prada, Ralph Lauren, Staud, Gabriela Hearst, and Fendi Rich Suede Once reserved for bohemian types, or impractical decisions (begging the question, what if it gets wet?), for several seasons now, suede handbags have proven their staying power. A desirable alternative to smooth black leather, chocolate brown suede feels luxurious without sacrificing its cost per wear. Worthy investments from Balenciaga, Toteme, and Alaïa are available now. Photos: Courtesy of Bally, Miu Miu, Valentino, Stella McCartney, and Khaite Top it Off Structured top-handle carryalls stood out this season, from Simone Bellotti's studded Unda bag at Bally to Miu Miu's patent leather style tucked into the forearm and swaddled in a fur stole. Familiar silhouettes still feel completely fresh, like Khaite's Audrey bag, which was shown in python (availabe in smooth leather below), and Stella McCartney's Ryder bag, back for a second season. All imbue a newfound elegance and modernity into a classic feminine silhouette. Photos: Courtesy of Louis Vuitton, Stella McCartney, Valentino, Fendi, and Chloé On the Arm, an Aughts Revival You can join a waitlist for Chemena Kamali's take on the Chloé Paddington bag, coolly carried in the crook of the arm on models in the fall 2025 show. Close to the Paddington in fashion and function, these reliable early aughts-inspired shapes—not too small, not too big, perfectly described as your designer 'day bag,' were also seen at Stella McCartney, Louis Vuitton, and Fendi. The styling at Chloé and Miu Miu reflect the ways in which most of us really carry our bags: dangling from our forearms. Photos: Courtesy of Khaite, Gabriela Hearst, Bally, and Burb The Flap Crossbody The ever alluring and timeless appeal of the old Céline box bag can be yours again thanks to Veronica Leoni's Calvin Klein Collection and Cate Holstein's Khaite. While those iterations of the chic functional leather crossbody are not available yet, you can find similar options from The Row, Demellier, and Burberry for right now. While you might not even consider this bag shape a 'trend,' we can't help but be excited for the refreshing simplicity and ease of this style. Gucci Horsebit 1955 soft shoulder bag $3,500 GUCCI The Row Sofia leather shoulder bag $3,750 NET-A-PORTER Photos: Courtesy of Hermès, Victoria Beckham, Chanel, and Louis Vuitton You're So Vanity Like sporting a miniature trunk, vanity cases with jewel box charm hit the runways from Victoria Beckham to Hermès. At the latter, the French house suggested stashing their line of colorful lipsticks and compacts in their leather boxes. At Victoria Beckham, super slim shapes made the case for a new evening silhouette, flattening the classic box clutch into an eye-catching shape. For a more everyday approach to the trend, you can find zip-around crossbody options to take you from day-to-night at Saint Laurent and Bottega Veneta.
